I have mentioned that also in the past as I am sure others have.
Likewise for sama, for pg, for that matter anyone else that is involved in HN or YC. (Some do of course but for the life of me I don't know why sama and pg do not). All not listing info like this does is simply enforce some secret society of HN. Which is funny given how many comments seem to rally against things like that. It's like "let's shun the newbies and put them at a disadvantage vs. established people who know the ropes and the players..". "Isn't it funny when a newbie doesn't know they are speaking to Sam Altman in their reply haha.
- brudgers 11y agoFor what it's worth, one of the features of HN is how firmly it discourages the segregation of insiders from outsiders. That's why there aren't long running insider jokes and there is a relatively low tolerance for meanness. I don't think the way it is handled is perfect or ideal, but community is a hard problem.
